Definitely stayed at home. This little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none...

And this little piggy went "wee, wee, wee"

All the way home.

How could it be anything else?

But then some damned Colonials don't sing "Ring a ring a rosie"...

To what degree do "home" and "none" rhyme for you, vowel-wise?

Ring a ring o' roses, surely? :)

I, with my south-east England upbringing, have only ever heard the "stayed at" variant, and while it doesn't surprise me the US version omits the preposition, I hadn't considered there might be regional variations here. Interesting.
